Understand Performance Monitoring of Assistive Technology Use

The goal of performance monitoring is simply to determine if the assistive technology is working to achieve the desired effect.

Key Concepts of Progress Monitoring

• measure the functional performance of a students both with and without assistive technology on a particular task
• be sure to determine the variable that will be measured
• be sure there are repeated performances over time
• observed performance on a task must be observable, measurable and target a behavior that can be recorded.
